SUMMARY:From the Collection: Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of artworks from NMAG’s collection celebrates the variety of genres\, methods and media used by women artists\, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November – Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history\, both men and women have created art\, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history. Art by men was historically valued more highly than art by women\, reflecting broader beliefs that only men could possess artistic or creative genius. Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious\, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century\, and wider social changes in the twenty-first\, have challenged these hierarchies. Today\, women are at the forefront of artistic production\, with artists such as Tracey Emin\, Maggi Hambling\, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.

SUMMARY:Compassion and care on the agenda for major University conference
DESCRIPTION:Making sure compassion-led and patient-centred care is the top priority for professionals will be discussed and shared at University of Northampton (UON) in March. \nUON’s second Care and Compassion Conference will see policy and thought leaders from home and away come to Waterside Campus to share insights and research on Tuesday 24 March\, from 9:30am-4pm. \nKeynote speeches will come from Dementia UK CEO Dr Hilda Hayo and Emeritus Professor and child advocacy expert\, Eunice Lumsden. \nThere will also be research-based talks from UON postgraduate students Claire Davies (the impact of dementia on carers) and Brigitte Gouda (children’s oral health through school visits from dental nurses) and Deborah Babalola (health literacy). \nThe closing keynote speech will be from Professor Sir Al Aynsley-Green\, a leading expert on putting compassion and empathy at the heart of healthcare. His talk will cover why creating compassionate cultures is so important. \nYou can hear some of his thoughts about this in the podcast he recorded with UON academics Associate Professor Dr Tracey Redwood and Senior Lecturer in Advanced Nursing\, Win Hughes. \nThe day will include research poster presentations and a special themed Schwartz Round\, story sharing and insights sessions for mostly health and care students and staff used at University of Northampton. \nDr Tracey Redwood\, who is co-organising the event\, says: “As many of will know\, health and care and professionals – and those in other sectors such as early years – can be rushed off their feet. Providing good clinical care is always a priority for the majority and this usually goes hand in hand with being compassionate and empathetic. \n“Sometimes\, during busy days with multiple urgent demands\, this can slip down the to do list\, but with our conference we want to showcase why compassion in care is so important\, with those in the know showing us the way forward. \n“We are delighted to welcome back Professor Aynsley-Green\, who will give passionate\, deeply informed\, illuminating and entertaining final thoughts to sum up the state of play with compassion in health and care in the UK and how all of us can play our part in making sure it never slips off the patient chart.” \nTo book a seat at this event\, email the organisers putting ‘Care and Compassion Conference’ in the subject line: fhes.events@northampton.ac.uk \nPlease note if you have any accessibility requirements and\, as lunch will be provided\, add any allergies/dietary needs.

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of artworks from NMAG’s collection celebrates the variety of genres\, methods and media used by women artists\, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November – Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history\, both men and women have created art\, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history. Art by men was historically valued more highly than art by women\, reflecting broader beliefs that only men could possess artistic or creative genius. Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious\, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century\, and wider social changes in the twenty-first\, have challenged these hierarchies. Today\, women are at the forefront of artistic production\, with artists such as Tracey Emin\, Maggi Hambling\, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.
